NYC LOCAL LAW 97

In 2019, the New York City Council passed the Climate Mobilization Act (Local Law 97), which is an aggressive piece of legislation to reduce 80% of greenhouse gas (GHG) by 2050. This initiative kicks off in 2024 and targets large and medium-sized NYC buildings, which account for nearly a third of all greenhouse gas emissions in the city. 

 

According to the "Green New Deal" law, buildings 25,000 sq. ft. or greater need to reduce their carbon emissions by 40% by 2030, and then by 80% by 2050. Low ENERGY STAR rated buildings will need to act by 2024 to curb their emissions and become compliant. 

​

You must act and implement an energy management plan by 2023 to avoid increasing fines.
